Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I'm having a really bad pain in my neck, particularly in the upper half connect the lower part of the head. I recently went to the doctor and was informed that I had acute muscle spasm. I have been taking medicines for the ladt few days but the pain hasn't subsided yet. It hurts even more after I go out for a drive. Could you tell me whats the best way to get rid of it?

Hi...
Your neck pain is due to reduced mobility in your neck vertebra...This could be caused due to poor posture and imbalance of muscles...
Don't worry..
I suggest you to kindly do..
Lot of icing frequently... maintain posture... support your neck while sleeping... Gentle massage over neck muscles... Gentle stretching of neck muscles... continue anti inflammatory medications as per prescription.... Support your neck with soft collar while travelling...
once pain subsides you can start with chin tucking exercises... Neck isometric exercises for back and side neck muscles...
Hope this is helpful for you... Kindly revert back in case you need any further help in this regard
